THU February 20, 2020 / 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. / Deep Space 8K
(Linz, February 17, 2020) Amazing photorealistic 3-D depictions of the human body are the featured attractions at the next Deep Space LIVE this coming Thursday. Prim. Dr. Franz Fellner, director of the Department of Radiology at Linz’s Kepler University Clinic, will offer fascinating insights in state-of-the-art medical imaging techniques and explain how technologies developed in the animated film industry facilitate understanding human anatomy.
Cinematic Rendering
Images taken inside the human body enable us to better understand human anatomy, facilitate medical teaching as well as the planning of surgical procedures, and also make for better doctor-patient communication. These images are produced by techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cinematic Rendering software developed by Siemens Healthineers is based on techniques used in the animated film industry; thus, its aim is to generate, on the basis of data delivered by CT and MRI scans, depictions that are as photorealistic as a Hollywood blockbuster! And that explains the reference to the movies in its name. In 2017, Cinematic Rendering was nominated for the German Future Prize.
